Questions on ultimate weapons....help plz

[Dante WolfWood]

okay her it goes:

1.how do you max out Nanaki's ultimate weapon?(Red XIII)
2.Same as # 1 except for Tifa.
3.About vincent, do you have to actually kill with him using a DIFF. weapon than death penalty to increase damage? BC I killed about 50 enemies and the damage went to 1880-....1882. No increasement....Alittle help?


(another thing that has nothing to do with the ultimate weapons: why won't cid learn his freakin ultimate limit break? I have them all and he wont learn it...same goes for yuffie...I have ALL of their other limit breaks...alittle help here? And yes, I have their ultimate weapons)

Well Im not positive but im pretty sure that for Red XIII all you have to do is keep his MP maxed for a crapload of battles. For Tifa its low hp, keep her near death. For the limits i have so clue so i cant help you there

1.how do you max out Nanaki's ultimate weapon?(Red XIII)

Maximum damage comes from having high MP and keeping your MP full. So basically, having 999/999 MP will cause maximum damage; 455/999 will do a lot less.

2.Same as # 1 except for Tifa.

Damage is greater when her Limit gauge is full, or nearly full.

3.About vincent, do you have to actually kill with him using a DIFF. weapon than death penalty to increase damage? BC I killed about 50 enemies and the damage went to 1880-....1882. No increasement....Alittle help?

So far as I know, you just have to kill a lot of enemies. A difference of 50 might not be enough to affect the weapon's performance.

(another thing that has nothing to do with the ultimate weapons: why won't cid learn his freakin ultimate limit break? I have them all and he wont learn it...same goes for yuffie...I have ALL of their other limit breaks...alittle help here? And yes, I have their ultimate weapons)

To learn the final limit break, you must have all six regular limit breaks, and the special item that teaches their ultimate limit.

[Dante WolfWood]

special item? wth? never heard of that, well thks anyway. Can you tell me what Cid's special weapon is and Yuffies?

So Nanaki's weapon is just like Cid's? or is Cid's different? bc out of all the time he had 999 MP, he did 9999 dmg.

and another question for a stradegy, I hate tifa's limit, I'd rather her just attack, will setting her limit break all the way up and then let her use mug make her do 9999 dmg?(since the attack bar goes away with limit breaks)

edit: can't I always just put curse on her when she gets limit break? will that work?

Yep. Cid's ultimate weapon and Nanaki's are identical. The same is true for Cloud's weapon and Cait Sith's (the Ultima Weapon and HP Shout), but these weapons depend on the character's HP, not MP. Yuffie's Conformer does greater damage to enemies with a higher level than her's, but once she reaches a high level the weapon will always do 9999 damage anyway. Aeris' greatest weapon, the Princess Guard, causes greater damage when her allies are incapacitated.

special item? wth? never heard of that, well thks anyway. Can you tell me what Cid's special weapon is and Yuffies?

For every character, there's a unique item that teaches them their greatest Limit Break. You have Vincent in your party, right? Then that means you've got an item called "Cosmo Memory", which was in the Nibelheim safe. This item teaches Nanaki his ultimate limit, but only once he's learned every level 1-3 limit. Same goes for other items - Cloud's Omnislash, Aeris' Great Gospel, and so forth - except for Cait Sith.

and another question for a stradegy, I hate tifa's limit, I'd rather her just attack, will setting her limit break all the way up and then let her use mug make her do 9999 dmg?(since the attack bar goes away with limit breaks)

edit: can't I always just put curse on her when she gets limit break? will that work?

Yeah, you can use other attacks - Deathblow and the like - if you want to do damage without emptying her Limit gauge.

merry christmas or whatever you celebrate

Cloud Strife:
You gain the Omnislash manual for Cloud in the Gold Saucer Battle Square.
fight until you earn 32,000 battle points. You can then buy the manual as an item.

Barret Wallace:
You can get the Catastrophe manual for Barret any time after stopping the train
in Corel on disk 2. Once this part of the game is done, enter the house
closest to the inn on the upper tier. There is a lady inside who says something
about her late husband and will give you a memento of the man, which is the
Catastrophe manual.

Tifa Lockheart:
Tifa's Final Heaven manual can be gained on disk 2 or later, anytime after
getting Cloud back from his coma. You simply return to Nibelheim with Tifa in
your party, and make your way to her room in her house. You want to play the
piano there. You'll need to remember the tune you played in the flashback. If
you can't recall, it goes like this: X, Square, Triangle, R1 + Triangle,
R1 + Square, X, Square, Triangle, R1 + X, O, X, Square, X. If you did it
correctly she should say something about having the sheet music for the song
and you'll also get her Final Heaven manual.

Aeris Gainsborough:
This one is a bit tricky to get. It has to be done on disk 1 if you actually
intend to teach it to her so I'm writing this assuming you will be trying for
it on disk 1. Okay, to get Aeris's Great Gospel manual you'll first need to
wait until you have the buggy, just after the Corel Prison sequence. Once the
buggy is in your possession, drive it into Costa del Sol. Note: do not get off
the buggy before entering town, just drive it right on in. Now head to the
docks and talk to the sailor by the cargo ship. He'll let you ride the ship
back to Junon for 100 gil. When you get to Junon leave town and you'll discover
you've brought the buggy along with you. You now want to head north east to the
river. There is a shallow spot you can cross using the buggy. Do so and head
east until you find a cave entrance. Inside the cave you will find a sleeping
old man. He won't talk to you much until you battle a certain number of times.
The trick is to make the last two digits of the number of battles you fought
match. For example, when you've fought 33 battles or 244 battle he will talk to
you since the last 2 digits match. Just fight outside of his cave until you
get a number that works. When you talk to him again he will give you an item,
sometimes it's a Bolt ring and sometimes it's Mythril. You are after the
Mythril. If he gives you a Bolt ring just go outside and fight 11 more battles
to get to the next number of fights that puts your last 2 digits at the same
number. For example if you have fought 22 times and he gives you a Bolt Ring
go out and fight 11 more times. You'll now have 33 fights and he'll talk to
you again. Just keep doing this until you get the Mythril. He will give you a
Bolt Ring when the matching numbers are even and a Mythril when they are odd.

Now you can proceed with the game until you get to Rocket Town. Once you go
through the Rocket Town sequence you'll have Cid as a party member and you'll
also have use of the Tiny Bronco. Take the Tiny Bronco to Nibelheim. Once there
use the plane to travel up the river and across the continent. You should come
out near Gold Saucer. Near the end of the river you'll see a little house on
your right. This house was previously unoccupied, but now you can get off the
plane and go inside. The guy inside will talk about the keystone for a bit.
When you get the chance tell him to change the subject and he'll talk about the
weapons he makes and having a shortage of mythril. Give him the mythril and
he'll reward you by letting you pick a chest as a prize. Go up the stairs to
the top floor and go all the way left. Open the little box on the wall to
receive the Great Gospel manual. The big box on the lower floor just contains
a Gold Armlet.

Red XIII:
You get Red XIII's Cosmos Memory pretty early in the game, on disk 1. The first
time you get to Nibelheim you'll be heading to the Shinra mansion. You'll need
to open the safe on the 2nd floor to get the Odin materia and the basement key
that you'll need to find Vincent. When you open the safe you'll fight a boss
called the Lost Number. For winning this fight you'll receive the Cosmos Memory
manual.

Yuffie Kisaragi:
You can get Yuffie's All Creation Manual as early as disk 1 when you have the
Tiny Bronco. Simply travel to Wutai and challenge the masters of the Pagoda.
Once you beat the last boss, who is Godo, Yuffie's father, you'll receive the
Leviathan summon and the All Creation Manual.

Cait Sith:
He has no level 4 limit break and therefore no manual to teach it to him.

Vincent Valentine:
You can get Vincent's Chaos manual as soon as you gain access to the submarine.
Simply put him in your party and then take the sub to the river mouth north of
Cost del Sol. Make sure not to miss it altogether. Dive underwater and look
for a small cave entrance. Just follow the path until you come to a circular
room. Surface and you'll be in a small lake. You can dock the sub on the side
and go into a cave hidden behind the waterfall. You'll see a flashback sequence
with Vincent here. Once its over leave the area, and go somewhere that you can
fight. I suggest the Gold Saucer area since it's the closest sub dock. After
you've fought at least 10 times return to the cave where he had his flashback
and you'll receive the Chaos manual and his final weapon, the Death Penalty.
When looking for the undewater tunnel be aware that it branches off of the
tunnel that leads you to the Key of Ancients. You can also use a green, black
or gold chocobo to do this in place of the sub.

Cid Highwind:
Cid's Highwind manual is easy to get. Once you have the sub travel to the Gold
Saucer sub dock. Now you want to dive underwater. There will be the wreckage of
a cargo plane nearby. You can find all kinds of goodies in this plane, called
the Gelnika. One of the chests in the cargo room contains the Highwind manual.
